Two recent studies used seismic data from NASA's retired InSight mission to shed light on what lies beneath Mars’ surface and what that means for the planet’s history ...

The global mid-ocean ridge, with a total length over 65,000 km, is the longest volcanic chain on Earth. Hot magmas are extracted from the upwelling ...

A new study published in National Science Review reveals that the asthenosphere plays an active role, rather than being passively involved as previously expected, in modulating seafloor spreading at ...

A joint research group has identified that the spatial scale of "heterogeneity" in the upper mantle, caused by a large-scale ...

Mars is not the pristine, stratified world that people once imagined it is a graveyard of shattered worlds, their shattered remnants encapsulated deep in its mantle for over four billion years. It is ...

A recent study reveals dynamic transformations in Earth's lower mantle, impacting both earthquakes and the magnetic field.

These shifts, detected by orbiting satellites, hint at dynamic processes thousands of kilometers beneath the surface that ...

A team of scientists has detected a colossal geological anomaly, a massive and mysterious change that took place nearly 2,900 ...

“I love Venus,” she says. “It’s Earth’s evil twin.” The two planets are about the same size, but the differences are stark.

The Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago and has been continuously changing ever since. For instance, the Himalayas continue to ...

Recent studies suggest Earth’s continents formed billions of years earlier than previously thought. A study published in Nature Communications reveals evidence of active tectonic processes during the ...

Seismic activity on the Red Planet – called Marsquakes instead of earthquakes – has allowed scientists to study Mars' “lumpy” interior.
